Waiting for poor people to come and criticize this and shout “tithe money”. Oyedepo is an astute business man and investor and it’s unfortunate that his affiliation with the church will bring upon him so much backlash and criticism.

The funny thing is that these haters won't read what you have written above to get knowledge rather their rush to bite at what they and manipulators like Freeze can not chew.

Self Sustaining
There should be no such thing as a Self Sustaining University. Even Harvard, MIT, CalTech, Stanford etc with huge endowments and incredibly high tuition are still receiving hundreds of millions of USD from the US govt. They still get money from their Alumni. I know someone who is an Alumnus of MIT who has given MIT 140,000 USD over the years. Yet with all these support, Stanford and many others still takes loan to finance their budgets. I have had to revise Coventry University, UK financial report and they also take loan despite being supported by EU or so.

Thats because theses schools give scholarships! Does covenant do so?

Who will run industries with no brains ?
The church is doing right. Missionaries didn't build us industries but schools as knowledge has the power to birth industries ''needed''. Winners is doing fine cos if govt was up to task of providing even average education, there will be next to no patronage of private schools.

Funny thing about the ignorant comments church-hating NLders is that they don't know that some of best and most prestigious Universities in U.S, U.K and Germany were started by the Churches centuries ago. That's the blue print Oyedepo and many big churches are following today especially our govt have failed to appreciate the need for quality Universities.
In same way as our govt hospitals are nothing to write home about, when one church decides to build a world class hospital today they 'll start shouting.
What a pity that hate is now a virtue to millions of Nigerian youths.

Gracious God. So on point

Statsocial:

The Church has no Ordinance in Industrialization. Its not that they can't build it but it bears no relevance to the Gospel. You need to understand that the main purpose of Christian Universities is never to teach Biology, Physics or Chemistry but to raise morally sane individuals who would stand for God in whatever field of endeavour they are raised.

Now the funding of the Sciences and building of Infrastructure is just a Cover to attract people for sublime bibilcal indoctrination. This is one of the most potent ways the Church has used in enmeshing itself in all sectors in the US. Example, Graduates of Oral Roberts Uni are usually staunch Political Conservatives and ProLifers. You don't want to mess with some of them in Congress or their various state legislatures.

So as the church continues to release thousands of graduates, they do two things. 1) Establish Christ in some of them 2) Widen the Influence of the Church. Many Graduates of Church Universities maybe running around today but know that a Seed has been sown that would ultimately change the nation.

If they build hospitals and subsidize the cost of healthcare by 80%, the poor would still be unable to afford it.

I look around in my community and just sigh at the lost opportunity the church often misses in reaching out to residents and potentially nee converts.

People are often quick to scream "schools are expensive to run" etc. but are often negligent of little things they can do to help too.
The living faith I attend once opened a tap for public consumption, but it was closed after a while and wasn't ever opened anymore.
I know as a fact how delighted people were, especially since there's a scarcity of potable water there.
This hasn't stopped them from spending money on things like buying up the surrounding expanse of houses and lands near them.

All these things aren't just priorities, people are. We all need to realize that.

Building schools for the rich
Go and sort out your ignorance and stop exposing your below average mind here.
What you pay is a function of what you are getting sir. If uni education starts n ends with certificate for you go to public uni, if you want better security, power, reliable health, no strikes, and good equipments, then pay for it and stop being so daft.
Do you want churches to subsidize N500,000 per session and bring to sch fee to public uni level just so the poor aren't left out? What's the use if they do that and admit only 200 student per year? Wouldn't it be better if they give 200 scholarship per year and allow another 1800 students pay 600,000 per session. It is a pity people expect the world to bend to their situation just so they aren't left out. Your mentality explains why the average Nigerian driver breaks traffic so often just to for selfish reasons.

Read between lines, they don't pay taxes at all and they make billions. Absolutely nothing stops them from buildijg hospitals for the poor and surely some big men/agencies/organisations will support them too.

A big yes to that, I know of over 10 people that graduated, while some are still in school based on scholarship. Even when I was in Togo, I know one of our youths in church also gained a scholarship.

Great I understand ur point. But what is d justification for church spending so much on university when such money really can build industries.

And what is the bedrock of industries? Is it not quality education? Sound/quality education is the foundation for any society that wants to move forward. Don't you know the major reason why Nigeria is comatose is because of her moribund educational system. Quality education leads to churning out graduates who are not just looking for job, but who have the capacity to create jobs, capacity to think outside the box!!

Kudos to Bishop Oyedepo on his sound vision for education evidenced by what he is doing with Covenant and Landmark Universities. In years to come, they will be among the leading universities in this continent if not the world.

There should be no such thing as a Self Sustaining University.
Do you mean it is wrong for a self sustaining university to exist or are you trying to say there is no self sustaining university currently?

Most if not all private universities in Nigeria were opened to enrich their Chancellors and they have been sustaining themselves since inception.

The Ivy League schools you mentioned can definitely sustain themselves for a while from their endowments and if the endowments keep flowing in constantly then the school can definitely become self sustaining.

I do not know who granted you access to the books of a private university but I doubt you did proper scrutiny.

What do you mean by "they don't pay taxes at all and still make billions"? Keep the hate in control bros.
How can you call voluntary contribution for a cause profit and expect the money to be taxed? It is like money being contributed by a group getting taxed.

Can we be objective for once? Who were those who brought religion to Nigeria? Were they the same as colonial masters?
So we had resources that we could manage that even after we had gained independence we still wouldn't build our economy like those who brought the religion??
Do you think we are so blessed because we have natural resources? What are natural resources compared to human and mental resources?
The fact is we might have more natural resources than some foreign countries, but their mental resources and capacity building is way more astronomical and meteoric. What are the essence of natural resources we have as a country that our mental capability can't sustain or build better than where those who brought religion left them??
(Let me save you questions you wouldn't be able to proffer answers to)

I reason along the lines of what @socialstats wrote, either he was writing to sing praise of his paymaster is not my stomachache. When I see an objective and reasonable flow of thoughts, I know.

codemaniacs:


His not enlightened and bright. his just defending his paymasters..

If he was enlightened and bright he would know that the people that brought foreign religion to Nigerians used it to deceive Nigerians while stealing resources for their own country to industrialize themselves and expand their influence...
